3 Claims. 1

This invention relates to scarfing machines andis herein disclosed as embodied in a machine for beveling' the marginsof pieces of veneer which are tobe madeinto plyboard; The veneer is usually suppliedinlong, narrow strips about onesixteez'ith of an inch thick which must be cemented together with margins overlapping to Torin wide sheets; the purpose of the scarfing operation :being to prepare the margins of the veneer stripsior such attachment to one another. After the veneer has thus, been formed into sheets, the sheets arecementedface'to face, with the grain in adjacent sheets running in diiierent directions, the thickness of the. resulting plyboard depending upon. the number of. layers of veneer sheets; h

For high grade work it is necessary to scarf the marginof the veneer to almost a; feather edge, leaving only a definite minimum thickness of material at the edge'to avoid havingthe edge break irregularly. The surface of the scarf should be smooth and uniform; Thethickness of the material operated uponsometimes makes provision for changingthe angle of bevel of 1 the scarf desirable; for relatively thick. materialthe angle must be steeper than forthin material; to keep the width of thescarf Within the length of the scarfing tool. Provision foradjustmentyof the ham of scarf is desirable also to meetitlie varying requireiiientsof different factories.

It is an object of the present'inve-ntion toprovide ascarfingnachine capable of operating in acceidance with the requirements above outlined. To this end, the machine herein disclosed is'provided with a rotary scarfing-toql which may beater-various angles to obtainthe desired-degreeof bevel. The-illustrative machine is further pfovidedwith a hightwise adjustable were table, a feed control, disk, an edge gage. and anedge guide, all organized to-cooper'atwithtliesc'a-rfing tool.

Other features and objects of the invention will be apparent from the accompanying drawing and the following descriptlonwherein an iuiistrative embodiment of the invention is disclosed.

The work-engaging.instrumentalities of the illustrated machine consists of a driven rotary scarfing tool ii! (Figs. 1 and '7), anedgegage I] (Fig. 9). a freely rotatable circular work table l2 (Figs. 3 and 4) a stationary work table Hlpartially surrounding the work table l2, a holddown or double presser foot I6; an overhanging guide [3, an edge guide 20, and a driven rotary iced disk 22. The rigidsupporting structure (Figs. 1, 2 and 6) comprises a hollow-jraine or housing 23 surmounted by a platformZd; and ahead 25 carried by the platform 24. Thehead 25 has a vertically split forward section 2! hinged to. open about vertical pintles (not shown) on each side.

The scarfing tool Ii} (Fig. '7 is cylindricaland has a plurality of cutting teeth 26 disposed. helically around its periphery andseparated from each other by clearancegrooves. The tips of theseteeth are not loacked away, but formcylindrical lands 21 about one thirty-second of aninch in width; all the lands lying in the surface oj a single boundary cylinder which, is coaxial with the tool. The tool has an axial bore which fits over the reduced end of a shaft 28(Fig. 4).. ,A nut 30 threaded upon; the end of the shaft. 28 clamps the tool lOagainst a collar 32 formed on the shaft 28. a

The'shaft 28 is journaled: in ballbearlngsima bearing support 34'; (Figs. 2 and 6) andis held against end thrustby another set of ball bearings in said support. The shaft 23 lsdriven at high speedthroughbelts 29 (Fig. 6) and}! (Fig.2) from any suitable source of power. The bearing support 34 is stationary during the operationrof the tool upon the-work, but itmay be adjusted angularly to vary the slope of the scarf to be formed uponthe. work. A pair-of co-planar guide plates 36 depending from and integralwiththe bearing support 34 engage a guideflange 38 formed ina bracket 4|] secured-byavscrew 3'! directly to the platform 24a-nd also by a screw 39 to an upright flange (H on the-platform. A clamping bar 421. has finishedsurfaces 35-.adjacentto its ends for bearing .against thec plates 36 to press them against the flange 38. Clampingpressure for thebanfl is obtained by arnut 3 43 threaded upon one end of a post 44 and bearing against the bar 42. The post 44 extends loosely through a hole in the bar 42; it extends also between the plates 36 and has its opposite end secured in the flange 38. In order to, provide for angular adjustment of the tool I to vary the slope of the scarf formed on the work, the bearing support 34 has an upwardly extending sector 45 upon which is an arcuate tongue 46. An upstanding stationary guide sector 48 of the bracket 40 has an arcuate groove 50 in which the tongue 46 is guided for angular adjustment of the bearing support. The stationary sector 48 carries a plate 49 (Fig. bearing suitable scale markings to register with an index mark on the movable sector 45. A tangent screw 52 (Figs. 2 and 5) facilitates adjustment of the tongue 46 in the groove 50. This screw is held from endwise movement by an eye 54 which is swiveled in the sector 48 and which surrounds the shank of the screw 52. The eye 54 holds the screw 52 against endwise movement by engaging on one side a collar 53 on the screw 52 and on the other side the hub of a hand wheel 55 by which the screw is turned. The screw is threaded through an eye 56 which is swiveled on the tongue 46 and which has a shank extending through an opening 58 in the sector 48. It is evident that when the clamping nut 43 is loosened the screw 52 may be turned to effect a fine adjustment of the angular position of the tool I0. The axis (indicated on Figs. 2 and 4 as the center of a reference circle 59) about which this adjustment takes place passes through the lowest point of the tool I0; it is parallel to the surfaces of the work tables I2 and I4 and tangent to the boundary circle of the lower end of the tool. The tool I0 may therefore be adjusted to any desired slope without varying the height of its lowest point above the work table I2. This height, in the illustrated machine, is six one-thousandths of an inch. Since the axis of the guide sector 48 is fixed, and since the diameter of the tool I0 is changed when the tool is ground to sharpen it, the exact height of the lowest point of the tool above the work table I2 I is obtained by a fine heightwise adjustment (later to be described) of the work tables I2 and I4. The diameter of the shaft 28 is enough less than that of the tool I0 to provide clearance of the shaft above the edge of the work table for all angles of adjustment of the tool. In Fig. 2 the machine is shown, for convenience, with the tool I0 adjusted to a zero angle of slope; in Fig. 4 the 'having a split portion which may be clamped to the post by a binding screw 96 (Fig. 1). The post 64 is clamped securely in a bracket 68 which, in

. turn, is fixed upon one end of a sleeve 69 (Fig. 6).

The opposite end of the sleeve 69 is fixed in a lever 10. A yoke I2 (Figs. 2 and 6) formed on the lever I0 partially embraces the bearing support 34 and is fulcrumed upon a pair of transverse trunnion pins I4 secured in a stationary yokeshaped bracket I5 fixed upon the flange M. A downwardly extending arm I6 of the lever 70 is connected through a link 18 to one end of a lever 80. A treadle rod 82 is connected to the opposite end of the lever 80 and operates to swing the .form 24.

lever about a fulcrum pin 84 secured in 9. lug extending upwardly from the platform 24. The feed disk 22 is urged downwardly by a spring 86 the lower end of which is anchored to a pin 88 secured in the bracket 40 and the upper end of which is secured to the lower end of a screw 89.

I The upper end of the screw 89 is threaded into a nut 90 having an elongated shank 9| and a knurled head 92. The nut 90 bears downwardly against a lug 93 extending from the lever I0. The tension of the spring 86 may be varied by turning the head 92. For convenience in making this adjustment, the shank 9| is slotted longitudinally to expose the end of the screw 89, and graduations are marked on the shank to gage the position of the end of the screw. In order to limit downward movement of the feed disk 22 under the influence of the spring 86 to prevent contact between the feed disk and the rotary table I2 when there is no work piece below the feed disk, there is provided a stop 94 (Fig. 2) which is engaged by an extension 96 from the lower end of the arm I6. The stop 94 is threaded into the stationary flange 4| for purposes of adjustment and is provided with a knurled head 91 to facilitate turning. A compression spring 98 holds the stop 94 in any desired position of adjustment. In order to avoid changing the normal height of the treadle every time the stop 94 is adjusted, the link I8 is provided with a lost-motion slot to accommodate the pivot pin connecting it to the arm I6. The height of the treadle is determined, not by the stop 94, but by a stop screw 99 threaded through the lever and bearing against a plug on the bottom of a boss I56 later to be described. A spring (not shown) holds the treadle in its up position. It is evident from the foregoing description that depression of the treadle will operate through the rod 82 to raise the feed disk 22 to facilitate the introduction of a work piece. The mounting of the feed disk 22 is similar to the mounting of the feed disk I30 disclosed in United States Letters Patent No. 2,296,836, granted September 29, 1942, upon my application.

The feed disk 22 is driven through mechanism comprising a belt I00 (Fig. 2), variable speed gearing I02, a sprocket chain I04, a shaft I06 journaled in a bracket I01 secured to the stationary flange 4|, a universally jointed extensible connection I08, a shaft I09 journaled in the sleeve 69, a bevel gear III] on the outer end of the shaft I09, 2. pair of integral bevel gears H2 and H4 loose on the post 64, and a bevel gear I I6 secured on the shaft 60.

The variable speed gearing I02 consists of three coaxial pulleys. The middle pulley is keyed upon ashaft; the end pulleys are carried by sleeves freely rotatable upon the shaft; one of the end pulleys is geared to the pulley shaft (through gears on a parallel countershaft) to drive the pulley shaft slower than the middle pulley; the other end pulley is similarly geared to drive the pulley shaft faster than the middle pulley. The belt I00 may be transferred from on pulley to another by an ordinary belt shifter IOI. The pulley shaft is geared through reduction gearing to a sprocket wheel that drives the chain I04.

The stationary work table I4 (Figs. 1 and 2) is rigidly secured to the upper ends of a pair of vertical rods I I8 and I20. These rods are slidable heightwise for purposes of adjustment in guide ways formed in bosses I22 and I24 on the plat- In Fig. 2 the showing of the nearer boss I22 has been omitted to avoid obscuring the parts back of it. The rods may be secured in -:ed byashaft I30 (Figs. .1 and a) whlchxistturned :through a hand wheel I32 and .which has a pair oL-oppositelyithreaded portions I34 and I36 adijacent to its ends. Secured upon the shaft 130 tin spaced relation to each other are a pairiof collars 1 38 and 140. Embracing theshaft I30 :betwe'enthecollars I38.and .I-10 andsecured to theplatform 24 is ayoke :I42 which serves to rthe shaft I30 againstlongitudinal move- *ment. Threaded upon the portion I34 is a slide ihlock I44 .having a-tongue I46 which extends rinto. a: corresponding groove in the. lower end porttionsof' the'y-rod H8. The block I44 hasa;slot -M toraccommodate theyrod II8. {Theyleft-hand send (from the view-point of Fig.1) of the slot -t-4-5.is.ppen; the right-hand end is;closedto unite :the portions of the block on the opposite sides "of the slot. The tongue I46 extends intothe :slot I45. The tongue and groove have a heightwlseinclination whereby movement of the block z-i44vin the direction of the axis of the-shaft I30 iwillrraise or lower the rod H8. The block I44 is guided for such .movement by a guideway z-iormed in .a block I48 whichisintegral with a tbushinglfifl surrounding the rod I I8 andsecured iinzthe guideway I22'by a binding screw I52. "JLIhe portion of'the guideway block I48 which'is IbEIOW the. slide block I44 is united to the upper portion by vertical webs (not shown) positioned zonthe right andleft (from the view-point of :Fig. 1) :of the rod H8. The arrangementsfor :heightwise adjustment of the rod I 20 are simittothose alreadydescribedlor the rod II8 except that the tongue-and-groove connection rfor the. rod I20 hasan opposite inclination. It :is: evident from the construction so far described wthatuturning of the hand wheel I32 will serve to rraise and lower the rods H8 and I20 to an equal r extent. After the desired heightwise adjustment :ofrthetable I 4 is-thus obtained, the clamping uscrewsr I26 and I28 may be tightened to hold the .table. in. this adjusted position.

"The .ciroular, freely rotatable work table :2 -:.(Eigs.il,12 and 4) is carriedupon the end of a "vertical shaft I54 which is journaled in, and also :freely slidable in, a bearing in the boss I55 (previously: mentioned in connection. withuthe. stop 1screw09). :The boss isa part Of abracket It! twhich is secured upon. the platform 24.

Since the lowest point of the=tool :I1II;is, as .has already been mentioned, only sixioonethousandths of an inchabove the worktablerlfl, the tip of the work-cngaging vportion 302 is made slightly thinner than six one-thousandths of an inch to clear the tool-and also to clearthe-erotary work table I2.

However, when, as is sometimes the oase, the work piece has .a curvedor irregular edge, it may be desirable to remove the edge guide 2i and rely upon theedge gageII alone.

an abutment screw 205.

.(Figs. 1 and 2 in which is formed a slot. Ex-

tending into this slot is one end of a lever I16 which is fulcrumed upon a pin 518 (see also Fig.

by a pair of adjustable stop screws I84 and I86 threaded through the lever M6 on opposite sides of the pin I82 and having their ends cngageable with the base of the slot formed in the lug I14. Upward movement of the holddown I5, to pre- ..vent damage to the tool I8, is limited by a stop screw I88 threaded through the lever I16 and having its lower end engageable with a lug I50 on the extension 586.

The pressure which the holddown it exerts upon a work piece is derived from a spring I92 (Fig. 1) having its lower end anchored to a pin I9Li secured in the bracket 40 and having its upper end attached to a block I96 which is slidable for purposes of adjustment along a bar I98. The block I96 may be secured in any desired position of adjustment along the bar I98 The bar I98 is fulcrumed upon a pin 202 secured in a post 283 mounted on the bracket 48. The lever I16 has a transverse extension 284 into which is threaded The head of the screw 206 is engageable with the bar !93. From the construction as so far described it is evident that the tension of the spring 592 tends to raise the abutment screw 256 and swing the lever I16 in a clockwise direction as viewed in Fig. 2, thereby urging the presser feet I68 and I18 against the work piece. It will be observed that while the holddown I6 is permitted a limited free swinging movement in the vertical axial plane of the tool I0, the slot formed in the lug I14 fits closely enough about the lever 516 to prevent transverse swinging movement of the holddown.

The holddown i6 is held up off the work tables I2 and I4 when no work piece is under it, and

is also raised to facilitate the introduction of a .work piece, by a bracket 268 (Figs. 1 and 2) rigidly mounted upon a transverse pin 2H3 in the lever 10 and forming, in efiect, an extension of the lever 10. The upper surface of the bracket 208 engages the lower end of a screw 212 threaded through a boss 2M on an arm 2 E6 extending upwardly from the lever 16. The clearance of the holddown I6 above the work tables I2 and I4 is determined by adjustment of the screw 2I2 after the screw 95 has been turned to adjust the clearance of the feed disk 22. A look nut 2I8 holds the screw 2 I 2 in adjusted position. Depression of the treadle not only raises the feed disk 22, but it also, acting through the bracket 208, raises the holddown l6.

Extending laterally from the lever I16 is a lug 220 (Fig. 2) engageable with the lower end of a screw 222 threaded through the bracket 200. After the trailing end of a work piece has passed out from under the feed disk 22, the feed disk will drop until the screw 222 bears down on the lug 220. The force of the spring 86 is thus added to that of the spring 592 in urging the holddown I6 against the work piece. As will be explained later, this arrangement provides for control of the feed of the work piece at the trailing end of the work piece.

In order to provide for the disposal of dust and chips resulting from the operation of the tool,

the machine has a stationary conduit 224 .(Figs.

8 1 and 6) connected to the usual-factory suction system or to a suitable blower. Swiveledupon the upper end of the conduit 224 is a pipe. ,226 the open end of which is in register, allowing for clearance, with an opening in the wall of; the holddown I6. All the dust and chips which are formed within the holddown I6 are thus carried off through the pipe 226 and the conduit 224. When access to the tool I0 is desired, the pipe 226 may be swung upwardly out of the way about its swivel connection with the conduit 224.;

Inioperating the machine, the treadle is first depressed to raise the feed disk 22. The work iece is then slid by hand along the work table I4 against the edge guide 20 until the leading portion of the work piece is under the feed disk 22 and against the work-engaging portion 300. of the edge gage II. Release of the treadle now permits .the spring 86 to urge the feed disk down yieldingly into engagement with the work piece. .The feed disk 22 not only advances the workpiece, but,- because of its angular arrangement, also tends to hold the work iece in against the edge gage II. As the Work piece advances, the bevel I12 of the holddown I6 rides up over the leading edge of the work piece. The tool I0, because of its rapid rotation in the direction of feed, would tend, as soon as the work piece reaches it, to advance the work piece rapidly without performing any useful work upon it if it were not for the feed disk 22, which turns slowly and controls the feed of the work piece. The holding down of the work piece against the work table close to the locality of operation is important in assuring a smooth, uniform scarf. The holddown I6, however, serves not only to hold the work piece down firmly upon the work tables I2 and I4, but it also serves as a guard to protect the fingers of the operator from injury and to protect the tool 10 from damage. The holddown I6, moreover, serves as a dust hood to enable the dust and chips resulting from the operation to be drawn through the suction pipe 226. After the trailing edge of the work piece has passed the feed disk 22, the work piece would be speedily ejected by the tool I0 if it were not for the presser feet I68 and I10. As has already been pointed out in the foregoing description, the holddown I6 bears down upon the work piece with the combined force of the springs 86 and I92 after the work piece has passed the feed disk 22. This pressure causes the holddown I6 to exert a drag or a retarding eifect upon the work piece which enables the tool I0 to perform a satisfactory scarfing operation all the way up to the trailing edge of the work piece. Even after the trailing edge has passed the presser foot I68, the work piece will still be under the influence of the presser foot I10, which bears down upon it with the full force of both springs. The lever I16 fits closely enough in the lug I14 to keep the presser feet I68 and I10 always at the same level. The holddown may, however, tilt about the fulcrum pin I82 to accommodate local variations in the surface of the work piece.

The tool I0, because of the cylindrical lands 21. is enabled to make a particularly smooth scarf upon the work piece. These lands not only aid in holding the work piece flat against the work table, but they also appear to have a polishing effect. Having thus described my invention, what'I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is: ,j

1. A scarfing machine comprising a high-speed rotary scarfing tool driven-in the directionof feed of a work piece, a work table, a driven feed disk frictionally engageable with the surface of the work piece in advance of the scarfing tool for controlling the feed of the work piece, a spring for pressing the feed disk down upon the Work piece, a presser foot engageable with a portion of the Work piece which has been fed past the feed disk, a spring urging said presser foot down on the work, and a connection between the feed disk and the presser foot for transferring the stress of the first-mentioned spring to the presser foot when the feed disk drops upon the passage out from under it of the trailing end of the work piece, thereby increasing the retarding effect of the presser foot upon the feed of the work piece.

2. A scarfing machine comprising a scarfing tool, an edge gage adjacent to said scarfing tool, a work table, a presser foot for holding down a work piece on said work table, a feed disk for controlling the feed to said scarfing tool, a guide over said work table for preventing excessive heightwise flapping of a long Work piece, and an edge guide remote from said edge gage for cooperating with the edge gage in guiding a long work piece having a straight edge.

3. A scarfing machine comprising a work table, a rotary scarfing tool over said work table, a carrier for said scarfing tool, and an arcuate guide in which said carrier may be secured in a position of desired angular adjustment of the tool rela-- tively to the work table, said guide having its axis of angular adjustment tangent to the periphery of the operating surface of the tool at an end of said operating surface and at the point on said end which is closest to the work table.
